About Devon

From gorgeous thatched homes and stunning contemporary barn conversions in the countryside to bungalows or apartments in a town, AGA cottages to rent in Devon are a reflection of the diversity this stunning South West England county offers. Our holiday accommodation is by the sea, overlooks a river, nestles in a village or hides in a Wildlife Site. There is even a farm mentioned in the Domesday Book!

History is never far in Devon, with its spectacular scenery peppered with ancient villages and archeological remains, stone circles and castles. Killerton, near Exeter, is a National Trust estate with an old working laundry whilst Totnes Castle takes us back to Norman times. Kents Cavern, in Torquay is a window into Europe's Stone Age and the carless village of Clovelly on Devon's North Coast is on the Hartland Peninsula, a Unesco biosphere. A James Ravilious trail will delight photography enthusiasts. Stepping back in time is easy in Devon, choosing is the tricky part.

Devon means food, it is renowned for its fresh produce, its small scale producers, from chillies to partridges, micro-brewers to vineyards. Food and Drink Devon with their logo 'Love the Flavour' can help you choose artisan producers dedicated to providing good quality local food and drink. Knightshayes Court near Tiverton lets the kids run wild and teaches them how to grow their own food in a walled garden, family heaven. Cooking in Devon with an AGA in your holiday home is a joy for all.
